These are some of the things I found at the Thrift store lately, I have alot more to share, another day.

Mickey Mouse Face Bear, paid $1.95 for him he goes on ebay for 80.00 to 100.00 dollars mine is missing the shirt but I should be able to do well with him, I have been looking for one of these for over 2 years.

Fire King Meet Loaf Pan paid $3.95 to resell on ebay but this color dosen't do well so I will probably keep it.

I saw this idea in another blog but cant remember the bloggers name, easy way to line up to 100 Alligator Clips in 1 hour, I bought this art board at Michaels and 4 candle holders, I think I spent $7.00 to make this board well worth it I have not burned my fingers since I started using this board.

I measure and cut the ribbon after that I seal the edges with a lighter or wood burning tool, then I cut a piece of shelf liner(you can purchase a roll super cheap at walmart or dollar store)

This is what the finished clip looks like.

I like to line 10 clips at a time its easier for me

I spread a thin stripe of glue to first clip

and fold ribbon over, repeat this process on all 10 clips

This is what it looks like once you complete this process, before you flip the board

This is the back side

carefully spread a small amount of glue on the pinchies(were you pinch the clips together)

the last step is to put a small dot of glue to backside of clip and fold over

Who watches Storage Wars? I love that show I can sit there and watch it all day long, well today I went to a storage auction here were I live it was very different, instead of auctioning a whole unit they bring out boxes of stuff set the box on a table and you can go thru it while the bidding for the box is going on, bids start at $2.00 it was really neat because you don't take home junk, there were a total of 11 units and the process took 4 hours.

There were about 22 people bidding, here is some of the stuff I bought, mostly for ebay.

2 Budweiser Christmas Stein mugs for $2.00, racing stuff total $6.00

All these Hallmark ornaments for $16.00, some of these ornaments are going for over $50.00 on ebay, and one is listed for $149.99.

Department 56 building $10.00, the deer and bag full of 10 snowman hallmark ornaments were included in the $16.00.

2 Pyrex Amish bowls and silverware $7.50 it was a box full of other stuff but I gave the rest away, I really only wanted the bowls but silverware was really nice.
